Become a regular supporter and join the Friends community
The Friends of Deer Park are a group of people who believe that Girlguiding makes a difference to the lives of girls and young women. They aim to help give girls of all ages more adventures and activities by supporting Deer Park financially.
Through the payment of an annual donation they assist in caring and providing 'extras' for the continued growth and improvement of facilities at Deer Park. Membership gives the opportunity to build friendships with other Friends through our events and activities and to learn about the exciting ongoing development of Deer Park. |
